Chapter 696
That period of time can be said to be the most painful time for Uncle Zhang, and it didn't matter if he failed the rankings. This time he was really scared!

Wang Erlang reached out and patted him on the shoulder, expressing his understanding.

"Brother, you are lucky, this is not what I want to tell you."

"what is that?"

Wang Erlang approached him and said.

"Xiao Wu, do you know why those officials want to check the gambling house?"

"Isn't it for the people? You know, the person who cheated me owed a lot of usury. Those usurers are not good people, they are all backers."

"This is just one of them." Wang Erlang picked up the wine cup and drank it all in one gulp.

"You mean something else?"

Wang Erlang laughed.

"The second is the most important!"

Uncle Zhang is interested.

"what happened."

"Let me tell you, do you know how much money the government has stolen from the gambling house?"

"How do I know that?"

"As far as I know, this number!" Wang Erlang stretched out two palms.

"1 million taels?"

"Tch, 1 taels is for running errands!"

Uncle Zhang was taken aback.

"No way, that many?"

"Do you know how much you checked!" Wang Erlang picked up a peanut and threw it into his mouth.

"Then, your second is this?" Uncle Zhang turned his head quickly and understood what Wang Erlang meant.

Wang Erlang nodded.

"Otherwise, do you think that the government is really kind to eliminate harm for the people? There have always been so many gambling houses, and they would have checked them out if they hadn't checked them out long ago, but now they will be checked, and they are full? Don't you see that this is a big piece of fat? You know, who came up with the idea?"

"Who?"

"I heard that it's a headhunter. Oh, this man must have been spotted by his master, and promotion and fortune are just around the corner!"

"You can't get promoted by arresting the head, at most you can get rich." Uncle Zhang said with some regret, "This talent is for nothing."

Wang Erlang approached again.

"I can't be promoted to an official, but it's okay to be a capable person in front of an adult. If you work in a government office, you can do anything better than us ordinary people."

Uncle Zhang heard something in the other party's words.

"What do you mean?"

"There is a good thing." Wang Erlang said in a low voice, "I heard that the government is going to recruit people. It must be because there is not enough manpower for drug detection. I want to go. How about you, are you interested?"

Uncle Zhang said in surprise.

"You're going, have you really given up on the scientific examination?"

You must know that government servants belong to lowly status, and once you join, you will miss the scientific examination.Of course you can do part-time jobs.

There are also temporary workers in ancient times, and most of them are, but there are not so many benefits to being a temporary worker. If you want benefits, you have to enter the establishment, and you can't be an official if you enter the establishment. If you are good at it, you can become an official , but it will always be under the official.

Because of this, those scholars who have been struggling for ten years cannot pass the exam and are not willing to do this.

Even though modern civil servants are so popular, everyone wants to get in, but in ancient times, scholars were disdainful, and they only thought that becoming a petty official would be a farewell to their ideals and ambitions.

That's why Uncle Zhang said that.

Wang Erlang sighed.

"To be honest, what do we study for? Isn't it just to get promoted and get rich? What is for the people and the country is all for people to hear, but I didn't pass the exam a few times. I am not as good as you. You are still a child. I I didn’t even pass the entrance examination for Tongsheng, so what do you think I have to look forward to? Just give up this idea and do something real.”

Uncle Zhang nodded and poured him a glass.

"You are better than me, and you know how to get promoted and get rich. I have been studying for so many years and I don't know why. It's not that I don't know. Anyway, my parents told me to study and I studied, and told me to take the exam. I will take the exam. To be honest Ah, at that time, reading was the most annoying thing for me, so I thought, it would be great if I didn’t study one day, so I contracted the orchard in our village and planted a few acres of land. What a beautiful day to blow the wind and write poems!"

Wang Erlang burst out laughing.

Uncle Zhang also laughed, holding the wine cup and saying.

"According to my little niece, this is very silly and naive. Hey, now that I think about it, the days of studying are the best. It's a pity that I didn't cherish it."

"You can go back and read now. Your parents love you so much, so they will definitely support you."

Uncle Zhang shook his head.

"Why, are you sorry to open your mouth?"

"That's not true." Uncle Zhang took a sip of his wine, "Why are you so embarrassed to open your mouth with your parents? The point is, I can't read any more."

Saying that he shook his head.

"Although I think studying is the best life, I really can't do enough studying itself. If I go to study again and fail the exam, wouldn't that be ruining my parents? Forget it, we really are not that material. "

Wang Erlang reached out and patted Uncle Zhang on the shoulder again.

"Brother, you're wrong, we're not the material for studying, we're just not the material for the science test!"

Uncle Zhang also patted his shoulder heavily.

"You are so right! I can read any book, and I can read it deeply, but I can't read the ones taught by my husband."

"Haha! That's right, that's right! Hey, have you seen that white lady? Let me tell you, I like that kind of thing. It's so interesting, haha!"

Uncle Zhang laughed too, and picked up the wine cup.

"Come on, let's share what our hero sees!"

"Go one!"

After the two touched each other, the wine cup was dry.

The more they drank, the hotter they got, and the more they talked, the hotter they got, both of them were a little bit drunk, Wang Erlang hooked Uncle Zhang's neck and said.

"Brother, let me tell you, are you going? Go, I have someone there, and I will definitely give you a good job!"

Uncle Zhang hiccupped.

"You know, I've never decided on my own. I used to listen to my parents, but now I listen to my mother-in-law. I need her consent to go or not!"

Wang Erlang was dissatisfied.

"You are wrong, you are a man, the head of the family, she has to listen to you!"

Uncle Zhang waved his hand.

"The head of the family is not whether you are a man, but how much money you earn. Whoever earns more money is the head of the family. How do you say that, the economic base determines the superstructure, I think it makes sense!"

"The economic base determines the superstructure, which gentleman said that?"

"It was said by a saint."

"The words of the sage are really profound."

"Yes, Gaoshen! Come on, let's go for our Gaoshen!"

"Take one for our holy word!"

In the end, the two staggered after drinking, and helped each other back.

Fortunately, they can find their own door.

Uncle Zhang lay directly on the kang, and Auntie threw the hot towel directly on his face unhappily.

"What kind of wine do you drink without festivals! It's really annoying!"

Uncle Zhang was ignorant, sleeping soundly covered with a hot towel, but the child crawled over, pulled off the hot towel and played with it.

Seeing this, the auntie sighed, went over to snatch the hot towel from the child, wiped Uncle Zhang's face a few times indiscriminately, and then pulled the quilt to cover him.

Uncle Zhang slept until dark, and woke up with a growling stomach. Auntie brought him porridge and side dishes.

"He said he was going out to sell delicious food for our mother and daughter, but he poured himself out and drank wine!"

The little aunt said unhappily.
